I called a local dealership about a Honda CRF 250R since they had one in stock, I was told the price would be $9600 OTD. Is this not a little crazy?
$8099 MSRP
$500 Destination/Freight
$299 Assembly
$533 tax
$168.12 unaccounted for LOL (must be for his pocket)
Is this normal right now? I really want a Yamaha but there aren't many in stock, this dealer said it would be a while. I called another dealer that lists having a 2021 and 2022 in stock and the lady said they wouldn't have another one in until May. Honestly though, If I'm going to be dropping $9,500 for a bike (before financing) I'm probably just gonna buy a used 2-3 year old bike for $5,000-$6,000 cash.

I had to call about a half dozen dealers last March when I was shopping for my 21 YZ250F. A bunch of places wanted $10k+ out the door and wouldn’t budge. Managed to find a dealer about 2 hours away that sold me the bike for $8170. That included sales tax, freight, dealer setup, and title fees.
Just keep shopping around and remember that you can walk away from a deal you don’t like. I know people who have driven 1,000 miles round trip to get a bike or car recently at a reasonable price.
The Shop
DeCal Works Huge Plastic Inventory of UFO and Polisport kits.
Free shipping: VITALMX
Luxon 4-Post Bar Mounts
$189.95 - $239.95
MSRP + OEM designated freight + 100 or less for setup = OTD price.
Use a local bank to finance and "pay cash" at the dealer. Go across state lines to avoid tax. Good luck. Picking up my 2022 mc350f in the morning and the otd was 10,018.
Remember, the ride doesn't end until you all stop letting dealers/homeowners/grocers/etc stop spanking you.
If you want a two stroke I'll sell you my '21 yz250. Things absolutely mint.
He likes to move bikes. Usually not a lot of those BS fees.
My brother is a Polaris/Kaw/TM dealer here.
They've been in business since 1974.
He's old school, minimal fees and the price they quote is out the door.
Maybe thats why so many people still buy there and he has so many repeat customers. Seems like some dealers are taking the fees to a whole new level.
He has some new KX's on the floor, including a KX450 SR.
Pit Row
Romney is where I got my YZ. Also in WV.
Ridersville $8099 otd (cash) if i titled the bike it would be $8585
Dealership 1- $9509
Dealership 2 - around 9500
I think I know where I will be going if I want the Honda. Wish they sold Yamaha.
The Suzuki is the bike I want the most based on pics but I want to pay a little less than $6k for it since it's a 2019 and want to see the hour meter. The guy said he would try to get me a pic of the hour meter over the weekend.
